Background

Information abounds about discourses and political decisions of Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s Prime Minister, the likely winner of the coming 8 April parliamentary elections. In fact, the nature of his rule has become a new political concept: Orbanisation.

Fjum seminar will address: a) the main characteristics of Orbanisation and explore why it has been so successful among the voters; and b) the role and the use of media as an instrument in securing regime’s popularity.

In other words, why is the regime so successful in attracting voters and the role of media in assuring that success?
